The princess slipped her way through the people and up to Mario, taking his hands in her own. "Promise me you'll be careful. I couldn't bare something happening to you..." 'again....' The blonde haired woman gave a small smile in thanks for his kind words and turned her back to him to go back to her place in which she found herself being graced with her own voice, except it wasn't from her lips. "Oh why thank you very much. I shall use it wisely!"

"Well, I'm as ready as I can be, Schezo." Rulue went on to answer to the Dark Wizard. The worst she had seen so far was a humanoid octopus abomination that resembled a creature from tales way before her age. It had eyeballs on its hands. Safe to say that in order to top that, Sonic had to work a bit.

Rulue and Accord listened intently to Samus' plan to bring Sonic's ambitious plans down. The Fighting Queen, in particular, expressed a bit of relief that she was going alongside Arle and Schezo. As for Accord, she was mildly surprised why the leader picked her up to go alongside her, but she probably had her reasons.

"OK. I'll do my best here." Rulue said, nodding in acknowledgment. She held Arle's hand firmly while the two made ways for the ship.
As for Accord? She also silently nodded before following the Life Sphere Leader inside the Gunship, although she hadn't said anything.

The plan was a long talk, but Schezo and Lemres listened intently on how it's broken down. In the duo's case, they're going along with Samus to get the drop on the mastermind himself, along with Arle, Rulue, Accord, Peach. Heh, can never really separate the ARS trio, huh? Perhaps that strong, invisible unity will give them an edge to their side of the operation. Heck, there was that entire simulation thing they were in, and they all had a tussle with an eldritch horror.

"Understood. We will not relent until it is over."
"Alright. Let's get down to business."

Thus, the remaining duo on Squad One boarded the Gunship, following after the rest of the girls. It's go time.

"This time for action will be a good one, drones or no drones we will come out on top and that rodent will suffer far worse than a humiliating defeat by the hands of all of us." Gargos said as he gave Paula a curt nod in response.

Death simply shrugged and fully manifested to his physical form, which revealed him in his traditional grim reaper robe and the dread scythe that he carried was absurdly sharp to the touch as well as stainless. "Let us begin this massacre of outside interference, I can only hope that their actions will be just as foolish as those of their leader." Death added his socket-less eyes bareing no I'll will but still showing a major hint of malice, what sonic was about to do could potentially kill billions of people, and even if death was immortal he could still be killed so long as they had someone wielding the Vampire Killer whip.

Volga nodded at Samus' instructions before heading off with his group. He was more than happy to fry Sonic's lackeys.

	“Lady Palutena, Samus says Hi.” Pit reported, smiling inwardly. “I know, I heard.” Palutena chimed, smiling back down.
	“Oh my. Those aren’t teams of three. Those are three teams of six and seven.” Palutena felt compelled to point out the phrasing error. “The pressure must be getting to her…” Pit empathized with the leader. “But math and English aside, her plan is pretty solid.” Palutena added, proud of what Samus had accomplished. “To make mistakes is to be human after all.”
	“Now this is new.” Palutena commented on the assigning of Squad One. “Normally for a mission like this, I’d send you straight to the commander alone.” “And I’m not the distraction again…” Pit tallied as Squad Two was formed. “What are we gonna do?”
	Pit could almost hear Palutena brace if it weren’t for the sound of his own excitement at being assigned to Squad 3. “Yes! Teamed up with Mario and Shiya!” Pit cheered with a victorious fist in the air. “I’m happy for you Pit, but don’t get carried away.” Palutena tried to reign her captain of the guard back in. “Samus did say this was a special task.” “Whatever it is, I’m all for it!” He shrugged, eager to get to work. “This’ll be just like the good old days: Just me, Mario, Shiya, …Rookie… Dr. Eggman? and… Wait. Another Peach?” His headcount ended confused.
	“That’s right, Pit. You’re teamed up with Dark Peach for this mission.” Palutena confirmed. Pit instantly felt bad for Princess Peach. He knew better than anyone that having a doppelganger could be a pain. “Dark Peach? But Peach’s Pittoo is all bright and cheery, just like her! How does that even work?” “Well Pit, she’s like that because she's not exactly a clone: She Is Princess Peach, but from another dimension. A darker one and edgier one.” Palutena explained insightfully. “Wow. It’s gonna get a little weird. Gonna get a little wild!” Pit needed a second to let this revelation sink in. “How do you know that?” “The backstory on her app may be long, but it's a real page-turner.”
